“API Security Risks for Connected Cars”

Description
According to Gartner, APIs have become the “most frequent attack vector” – and this appears to be very true for the automotive sector. While APIs offer remarkable benefits for software development, integration, and scalability, they have become a primary target for attackers. Recent studies have show connected cars susceptible to API manipulation to lock/unlock car doors, start and stop engines, and much more.

This session will discuss why APIs appeal to attackers, what makes them especially difficult to secure, and best practices for keeping car APIs safe.
